CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Before beginning any procedure, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object. CAUTION: To prevent information loss or an unresponsive system: Shut down the computer before adding or replacing memory modules.
